I finally broke down and bought a copy of The Best of Jane Austen Knits: 27 Regency-Inspired Designs.

There are so many lovely Spencers, shawls, and even men's items that I am hard-pressed to decide what to do first. I may begin with a baby hat, since I have a new nephew on the way and hopefully an adopted grandchild soon. Perhaps one of the shawls could be re-engineered as a baby blanket, too. When I decide, I will let y'all know, O.K.?

Historical information about Jane Austen and the Regency period is interspersed with excellent photographs, charts,and patterns for period-inspired garments that a modern knitter would wear.
